“ Interesting experience of having tea at night time. Appropriate portion and decent service. Highly recommend the cluster bun. ”
“ Great dimsum place that is opened past midnight. Recommended if your in the area. Also, never been to a place that serves half portions for some of the dimsum (har gao and siu mai) ”
“ Local dim sum place. Visited on a weekday close to 1pm for 2. There was no wait. Taste and price wise was very reasonable. Would visit again if I was around the area. Enjoyed the thin wrapping for “hargao” - it had the right amount of shrimp — Bathroom is filthy. ”
“ Serves both traditional and non traditional Chinese dim sum dishes. Overall the food is not bad, the fillings of the salted egg yolk custard bun is molten and rich in flavor, the shrimp rice roll got nice texture for both the outer layer of rice skin and the crispy inner skin. However it is quite surprising for the deep fried dumplings which added cheese in it, which is a bit weird. ”
“ Great dim sum need not be expensive, I’ve always known there would be good dim sum shops out in the neighbourhoods that catered to more modest budgets - and found “Prince Dragon” in Prince Edward to be exactly just that! (total cost would probably have been 1/3 of the bill at Lei Garden).. ”
